Larwood Bridge, Covered bridge in Crabtree, United States.
Description
Larwood Bridge is a covered wooden bridge in Crabtree that spans about 105 feet across Crabtree Creek. The structure uses traditional Howe truss construction and sits where Roaring River flows into the creek.
History
The bridge was built between 1939 and 1941, after William Larwood had established a settlement here in 1888. Its construction met the needs of the growing farming community for a reliable crossing.
Culture
The name comes from William Larwood, who founded a settlement in this area during the 1800s. The bridge reflects how communities built sturdy crossings to connect farms and settlements across the creek.
Practical
The best access is via Fish Hatchery Road, and the adjacent Larwood Wayside Park provides parking, picnic areas, and swimming facilities. The site is also good for photographers, especially during changing daylight when the wooden structure is most visible.
